Host Qi Taiyang Cold Water

Guest Qi Shaoyang Ministerial Fire

Climate cold below with false warmth above

Alternating sensations warm and cold

Ribside tension dryness restlessness sitting on top of exhaustion

Warm breath rising through cold air

The dragon’s quiet exhale in deep winter

This incense is made for the midwinter pattern described in Chinese medicine

Cold contracts the lower body

Minister Fire rises toward the surface

Qi gets caught at the Shaoyang pivot

The breath tightens and the mind feels both tired and overstimulated

It warms without sinking

It vents without dispersing

It frees the diaphragm and ribside while steadying Kidney Yang

It brings smooth movement through the cold dry phase of the year

Aromatic movement

Chen pi shiso and pink pepper give a light upward breath

Sandalwood cedar and juniper wood create warm rising clarity

Frankincense (sacra) benzoin myrrh and styrax form the glowing core

A trace of Hawaii mango ginger adds the small spark within cold
